32. Maybe they are afraid of donny

Closing down the legislative branch if they don't play along. At least this way they keep their paychecks and benefits. If they fight donny he might fire them all sooner than what is in the plan. Remember you don't need a legislature if you have proclaimed yourself king. He's just asked a crowd, not sure if it was a presser, if they thought he should run again. And in 2 years I could really see there being no more elections.

42. Whether they lose or not will depend on who counts the votes

To paraphrase Stalin.

I am not optimistic about 2026 or 2028 because of that.

3. They decided to align with Putin a long time ago.

Trips to Moscow, etc.

They have been done with democracy for some time.

They want what Putin has in Russia, permanent total power and access to all national resources and assets.

The GOP has no intention of stopping Trump.

Bernie Sanders spent his honeymoon in Moscow back when it was still the USSR.

Bernie Sanders spent his honeymoon in Moscow back when it was still the USSR.

On that subject, former disgraced CIA Director John "Penitentiary Face" Brennan voted for Gus Hall of the U.S. Communist Party in 1976.

CIA Director John Brennan Proudly Acknowledges that he Once Voted for the Communist Candidate for President

At his first polygraph test to enter the CIA, the future director had a secret. John Brennan on Thursday recalled being asked a standard question for a top security clearance at his early CIA lie detector test: Have you ever worked with or for a group that was dedicated to overthrowing the US?

“I froze,” Brennan said during a panel discussion about diversity in the intelligence community at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s annual conference. “This was back in 1980, and I thought back to a previous election where I voted, and I voted for the Communist Party candidate,” Brennan was responding to a question about barriers to recruiting diverse candidates for the intelligence fields, including whether past records of activism could hurt someone applying for a clearance later in life.

The CIA director said the agency’s mission is to protect the values of the Constitution – which include free speech. “We’ve all had indiscretions in our past,” he said, adding neither some drug experimentation nor activism was a non-starter. “I would not be up here if that was disqualifying.” He proceeded to tell the story of his test.

“I froze, because I was getting so close to coming into CIA and said, ‘OK, here’s the choice, John. You can deny that, and the machine is probably going to go, you know, wacko, or I can acknowledge it and see what happens,’” Brennan said. He said he chose to be forthcoming. “I said I was neither Democratic or Republican, but it was my way, as I was going to college, of signaling my unhappiness with the system, and the need for change. I said I’m not a member of the Communist Party, so the polygrapher looked at me and said, ‘OK,’ and when I was finished with the polygraph and I left and said, ‘Well, I’m screwed.’”

But he soon got his admission notice to the CIA and was relieved, he said, saying that though the agency still had long strides to make in accepting gay recruits and minorities, even then it recognized the importance of freedom. “So if back in 1980, John Brennan was allowed to say, ‘I voted for the Communist Party with Gus Hall’ … and still got through, rest assured that your rights and your expressions and your freedom of speech as Americans is something that’s not going to be disqualifying of you as you pursue a career in government.”

And your PMSNBC and CNN libturd outlets use Brennan as a "reliable" intelligence contributor.

Hillary looked semi doable but she would "OVERCHARGE" for services sort of rendered.

To borrow a line from the late Jerry Reed, "Keep your foot hard on the pedal, son never mind them brakes, let it all hang out 'cause we got a run to make"...

If there was a real chance he could be expelled from the White House, he'd have several Senators killed, or he'd just send the miltary to disband Congress altogether.

We are in a dire situation, our Democracy is no longer in peril, it has instead perished.

Nothing Elon Musk doing is legal, Trump doesn't have the authority to give Elon Musk the power to do what he's doing. Trump doesn;t have the authority over these federal agencies he's dismantling. The courts are bing ignored. Congress has been rendered obsolete. Whatever Congress passes for spending won't really matter, Trump will spend and cut as he sees fit.

Wow. Trump has way more power than I ever imagined if he can just off senators at will or have the military disband Congress. :rofl:

He should've disbanded Congress on January 6, 2021 and spared us four years of Biden.

Plus or minus a few RINOs, why would R Congress Critters "stop" Trump's winning. They recognize the Dems' fauxpocalyptic claims for the absurdities they are.
